EF 4.x POCO Entity Generator for C# Web Sites

Can you explain what the difference is between the web site and non-web site versions?  I can't think off hand why they would need to be different?

I was looking for an answer to the same question. There is a tiny bit of infomration here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2010/02/18/entity-framework-poco-template-updated-for-visual-studio-2010-release-candidate.aspx Crucially though, for ASP.NET MVC website sites, it indicates to use the NON website verion!

Hi Diego, The only one that seems to be available is the 'ADO.NET C# POCO Entity Generator'.  The 'ADO.NET C# Web Site POCO Entity Generator' is not available.  I can download it and install from here but it doesn't show in VS 2010 either in the Installed Templates or Online Templates.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,

Do you still see this problem? What edition of VS are you using?

Thanks,
Diego

I'm having the same problem.  I'm using VS.NET 2010 Ultimate

Hi Diego - is there a version that automatically adds DataAnnotations based on the database's metadata? eg not null becomes a [Required] annotation, nvarchar(25) becomes a [StringLength(25)] annotation?

Thanks!

The edxml designer supports documentation for entities and properties (which would generate the <summary/> XML comment).

Any chances to transport the documentation from the edxml to the generated classes?
